Davis's car was still running when officers arrived and found him deceased in the driver's seat of the vehicle, Perkins said. His car had rolled forward in the intersection and had come to a stop against a utility pole.

Details of the shooting, which officers responded to around 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, remain unclear.

Officers have been canvassing the area where the shooting took place, which is surrounded by businesses, in attempts to find witnesses to the altercation, said MPD public information officer Ashley Rains.

She could not say whether any video footage had been recovered of the incident, although there are two gas stations at the intersection where the shooting took place.

Davis has no known prior run-ins with authorities in Mobile County, according to booking and court records.

Rains said police are still trying to determine why Davis was in the area early Wednesday morning.

Homicide detectives are investigating the shooting. Anyone with information on the incident can contact MPD at 251-208-7211.
